Chapter 348
As Mingyuan wine, the new wine of Xu's wine shop, became more and more popular, many wine shops also put Mingyuan wine on display. The price started to rise immediately, but the price of Xu's wine shop did not change.

Seeing the profit, some big wine merchants no longer want to let the Xu family increase the price of Mingyuan wine, but want to buy at a low price and sell at a high price, so that they can make a fortune elsewhere.

It's just that Xu Minghan, the young owner, can conditionally screen merchants who are in great demand and want to cooperate with the Xu family, and soon these big wine merchants know that the Xu family wine shop actually has a partner, And the identity of this collaborator is also unusual.

"Master Bai, do you mean that the partner of Xu's wine shop is Yao Wang?" On this day, in the capital chamber of commerce, Bai Zhanyang gathered all the shopkeepers of the big wine shops in the capital together, planning to discuss how to deal with the Xu family together. Wine shop, but after hearing Bai Zhanyang say that the partner of Xu's wine shop is Yaowang Mansion, everyone retreated.

Everyone has worked in the shopping mall for many years, and some things can be understood even if they don’t say it clearly. Others don’t know the status of Yaowang Mansion among businessmen. They all have a steelyard in their hearts. It is today's day that is behind it, in other words, Yaowang Mansion has been earning money for the emperor.

Xu Junze, the great general, was originally the most respected and trusted person by the emperor. It is not surprising that his shop cooperated with Yaowang Mansion. Although their respective liquor shops were also affected by Mingyuan Liquor, in fact, compared with Baijia Distillery, their loss is not the biggest.

"Hmph, so what if it's King Yao? The Xu family maliciously lowered the price of wine to deal with the wine merchants of our capital chamber of commerce. Isn't it because we didn't sell grain to the court? But we also have to use grain to make wine, don't we?" , This is not letting us live!" Bai Zhanyang met Zhao Mu, the young prince of Yaowang Mansion yesterday, and the other party wanted him to donate the Bai family granary, which was impossible, and he refused on the spot.

As soon as Bai Zhanyang mentioned grain, many people present were silent. Now that the price of grain is rising every day, the Bai family has made a lot of tricks behind it. It seems that Mingyuan wine did not appear for no reason. It's not them, it's the Bai family.

After figuring this out, there are even fewer people talking. They are just businessmen. Even if they hold wealth, they still have power to rely on. But the people do not fight with officials. This is an eternal truth, not to mention fighting with the imperial power. That's not touching an egg to a rock, but now Bai Zhanyang has long forgotten this. He arrogantly believes that he holds the lifeline of "food" in his hands, and even the imperial power can be controlled, let alone a small Xu family. The liquor store is gone.

Next, Bai Zhanyang tried to make trouble for Xu's wine shop, constantly slandering Xu's new wine, Ming Yuanjiu, in an attempt to ruin the reputation of the new wine.

After Lin Shuran knew this, she wanted to help Xu Minghan deal with this situation together, but the Xu family brothers considered her physical condition and refused to let her intervene, and Xu Minghan also told her that the affairs of the Bai family will be left to him and The little prince Zhao Mu is fine.

Lin Shuran thought that since Xu Minghan planned to do business as his way of life, it would be fine to train him a little more, and with the help of Yaowang Mansion, he should not suffer a loss in fighting with the Bai family in the mall.

Sure enough, in less than half a month, all the business of the Bai family in the capital was robbed, and the big wine merchants second only to the Bai family were willing to donate granaries to the court to stabilize the rising grain prices, and even persuaded some Grain merchants also restored grain prices to parity.

Not only that, the palace also stopped using Baijia wine, and replaced it with Yujia wine, Dingjia wine and Meijia wine, which are second only to Baijia wine. It's no worse than Baijiajiu, but it's been suppressed by Baijia all these years, so it can't go any further.

Immediately afterwards, news came from the states of Baijia wine shops, saying that no one buys Baijia wine anymore, and they all prefer Mingyuan wine, which is of good quality and cheap, and even those big wine shops sell their own wine. Also began to sell Mingyuan wine on behalf of others.

"How is this possible!" Bai Zhanyang didn't believe that those who were originally with him would choose to betray him in such a short period of time, and it was even more impossible for Baijiajiu to be replaced overnight.

It was snowing heavily that day, Xu Minghan and Xu Mingchen met Zhao Mu, the young prince of Yaowang Mansion, in the Zhuangzi in the suburbs. The three of them sat around the stove, Xu Mingchen took out an envelope and handed it to Zhao Mu, and said : "Here's the rest!"

Zhao Mu took it with a smile on his face, and said: "Thank you for me, mother, without her help again, the matter would not be resolved so smoothly!"

"My lord, you are being polite. My mother said that she planned to disclose the recipe of this Mingyuan wine. If a few recipes can calm this incident, she is of course willing to show it." Xu Mingchen said.

Just when the Bai family started to target Xu's wine shop, Lin Shuran wrote down the production method of Mingyuan wine in detail, and then wrote a few wine-making recipes and drew a set of wine-making equipment by himself. And let the two brothers Xu Minghan and Xu Mingchen hand over these to Zhao Mu, and at the same time state her purpose for giving these to Zhao Mu.

Since the Bai family wants to use food to disrupt the market, they should isolate him in the shortest possible time and disintegrate the alliance among their merchants. Who doesn't want to be the leader, and who is willing to be subordinated to others, not to mention that the Bai family has not lost much in recent years. Everyone dared to be angry and dare not speak out when they bullied their peers.

Therefore, under Zhao Mu's operation, those colleagues who originally chose to side with the Bai family all turned against each other, because the cooperation conditions Zhao Mu gave them were too tempting. The blueprints of the crafts, and even Zhao Mu promised that after the work is completed, those who have merit will get a secret wine recipe in the palace.

In the face of huge interests, shrewd businessmen made their own choices. Whether they were wine merchants or grain merchants, they chose to finally cooperate with Zhao Mu, not only for the "benefits" Zhao Mu gave, but also For his "threat", they were very afraid that the emperor would settle accounts after autumn.

The grain merchants are more like the mirror in their hearts. Since the imperial court promulgated a new decree, the Ministry of Households has encouraged the people to change their farming methods. Now the autumn grain yield of the Jin Dynasty is very high. If the imperial court and the common people adopt new farming methods next year, Then the food will definitely not be as tight as it is this winter, and the imperial court will no longer be subject to the grain merchants. Their good days of earning money are coming to an end.

I was thinking of taking the opportunity to make a fortune this winter, but I didn't want to anger the emperor. For the sake of the future, between the emperor and the Bai family, they must make a choice as soon as possible, and naturally they don't have to think too much about who to choose !
